Love this one, super clean cheek and the cammish obverse looks good. Love the reverse toning.

The 1909 Proof Liberty Nickel is the most date in Proof because collectors had to keep buying the two piece sets to get all of the cents that were minted that year. That included the 1909 Indian, 1909-VDB and 1909 Plain.
That will not come out DCAM when dipped.
PR68CAM, and low end at best.
Still prefer Air CRO to Amazon
That is a very nice coin, but what is that 'rubbed' area around the date and the first star?? Cheers, RickO
Well a 68CAM just sold for $22k in a 2017 Stacks sale. With the coin offered at $1050 why not take that bet @ColonelJessup

I find the blemish on the bottom very distracting.
It is haze of some kind on the coin. If that coin is dipped it will not look as nice. I can be "spot" conserved rather than dipped.
All of the criticisms concerning this piece are about toning, which is perfectly natural. I'd leave it alone, and enjoy it.
In my opinion, what folks are mentioning as "rub" or something else is simply where oils from fingerprints have been left and have affected the resultant toning pattern over the years. This coin has prominent, partial fingerprint patterns near the date on the obverse and in the center of the reverse. This is neither good nor bad, it just "is".

The coin has good eye appeal. It does not have the blazing "black and white" look that some cameo Proof coins have with perfectly mirrored fields. If the true be known many of those coins have been dipped, and might not be as stable as you would like them to be.
